Putting on new countertop how do I remove this faucet?

I'm trying to replace my current counter top. How do I remove the faucet?
It looks like the faucet lines were soldered into the water lines?
Am I gonna have to cut and redo the whole thing? Or heat up the pipe and it will turn loose?

Depends on your plumbing skills. There's certainly nothing there that you can DIY. If you're not into soldering, I'd use a tubing cutter to cut the 1/2" copper between the wall and the elbows, and would use some emery cloth to clean the copper. I'd get 90 degree shutoff valves that connect to the 1/2" copper with compression fittings. You install them using either a pair of large pliers or crescent wrenches. Easily done. The other end of the valves will have a 3/8" compression fitting, which will neatly accept a pre-made flexible sink supply line, which screws right into the bottom of the faucet.

Not everyone can knows ow to solder

The nieghbors replaced thier water heater and the pipe out the top was leaking, sothey asked me I'd fix it.

I heated the pipe for ever and couldn't get the solder to draw in. Then I remembered the neigbors DYI skills and asked if he'd drained some of the water out of the water heater. I just got one of those "why would I need to do that looks.

i do not understand this post. don't faucets connect with threads? please look WAY up under there and see how the copper pipe is attached to the faucet itself. it SHOULD just need a 'basin wrench' to disconnect that pipe from the actual fitting. but what do i know? i'm just a mouse.....

yeah, looks like someone did a bangup job on that alright! looks to me like they attached the copper to the faucet first, then slid the tubing down the hole. helltopay to even TRY to get a basin wrench up under that.... dang... kc's right then, yer gonna have to cut those coppers... is there enough room to use a pipe cutter rather than a hacksaw? easier to connect new pipe that way.
